Speed dating submissions invited for National Conference 2024

13.02 | 24 July 2024 |

While virtually all of the Main and Fringe conference programmes are now complete, the 2024 National Road Safety Conference committee is still keen to hear from practitioners who would like to present in the ‘Speed Dating’ session.

The 2024 edition of the National Road Safety Conference will be held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel on the NEC complex, on 6-7 November.

The event is organised by Road Safety GB and co-sponsored by Jenoptik, National Highways, Transport for West Midlands and Westcotec. More than 200 people have registered to attend the conference, and 24 organisations have signed up to participate in the exhibition which runs alongside it.

First piloted back in 2018, Speed Dating is now a permanent and popular feature of the National Conference programme. The 2024 session will comprise a series of 12-15 very brief presentations lasting just five minutes.
